Predicting outcome in clinically isolated syndrome using machine learning.

NeuroImage. Clinical
We aim to determine if machine learning techniques, such as support vector machines (SVMs), can predict the occurrence of a second clinical attack, which leads to the diagnosis of clinically-definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) in patients with a clini...

An SSVEP-Based Brain-Computer Interface for Text Spelling With Adaptive Queries That Maximize Information Gain Rates.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents a brain-computer interface for text entry using steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP). Like other SSVEP-based spellers, ours identifies the desired input character by posing questions (or queries) to users through a visu...

Ultrasound texture-based CAD system for detecting neuromuscular diseases.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases in ultrasonography is a challenging task since experts are often unable to discriminate between healthy and pathological cases. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for skeletal muscle ultrasonography w...

The Impact of Oversampling with SMOTE on the Performance of 3 Classifiers in Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes.

Medical decision making : an international journal of the Society for Medical Decision Making
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) on the performance of probabilistic neural network (PNN), naïve Bayes (NB), and decision tree (DT) classifiers for predicting diabetes in a prospective cohort ...

Moving Away From Error-Related Potentials to Achieve Spelling Correction in P300 Spellers.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
P300 spellers can provide a means of communication for individuals with severe neuromuscular limitations. However, its use as an effective communication tool is reliant on high P300 classification accuracies ( > 70%) to account for error revisions. E...

Robotic systems for percutaneous needle-guided interventions.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Several groups have developed robotic systems for invasive medical procedures. In this article we will focus on selected robotic systems for percutaneous needle-guided interventions using CT or MR imaging. We present six interventional robotic system...

Computer-aided diagnosis from weak supervision: a benchmarking study.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Supervised machine learning is a powerful tool frequently used in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) applications. The bottleneck of this technique is its demand for fine grained expert annotations, which are tedious for medical image analysis applicatio...

Selective invocation of shape priors for deformable segmentation and morphologic classification of prostate cancer tissue microarrays.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Shape based active contours have emerged as a natural solution to overlap resolution. However, most of these shape-based methods are computationally expensive. There are instances in an image where no overlapping objects are present and applying thes...

Quantifying the determinants of outbreak detection performance through simulation and machine learning.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: To develop a probabilistic model for discovering and quantifying determinants of outbreak detection and to use the model to predict detection performance for new outbreaks.

Artificial neural network and falls in community-dwellers: a new approach to identify the risk of recurrent falling?

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
BACKGROUND: Identification of the risk of recurrent falls is complex in older adults. The aim of this study was to examine the efficiency of 3 artificial neural networks (ANNs: multilayer perceptron [MLP], modified MLP, and neuroevolution of augmenti...
